Chapin Forest

The 390 acres of Chapin Forest Reservation are known for distinctive rock formations and majestic forests. Wander, cross-country ski or snowshoe through nearly six miles of trails by mature woodland trails comprised of beech, maple, oak, tulip and hemlock. Stop by Quarry Pond and walk Lucky Stone Loop Trail. One of the best scenic overlooks in Lake County is found along Lucky Stone Loop. Hiking in this beautiful forested park will take the park visitor to spectacular sharon conglomerate ledges, from which on a clear day Lake Erie and the the Cleveland skyline are visible, 18 miles away. Part of the Buckeye Trail, a continuous hiking trail throughout Ohio, passes through Chapin Forest. Blue paint blazes on some trees mark the Buckeye Trail.
